from NCBE News 12/3/99:

According to a recent study of the U.S. Hispanic population, 64 
percent of Hispanics are equally proficient in English or 
Spanish, meaning greater economic security for this group. The 
report, "2000 U.S. Hispanic Market Study," by the Strategy 
Research Corporation (SRC) includes information on Hispanic 
population and demographics, culture, society and politics. A 
summary of the report is online at LatinoLink: 
http://www.latinolink.com/news/1999/1104bili.htm

The report itself is available through the SRC website: 
http://www.strategyresearch.com/blue.html

Or call SRC at: (305) 649-5400.
